things that i love that i never realized i loved:
1. honey! i love good honey! who knew! i bought some honey from this very shady man who had jacked nails at the farmer's market a month ago and i've been eating it with Fage and it's pretty good
2. I also really love heirloom tomatoes. Jen and I have been feeling very bored with ann arbor, probably because she's been here for like 10 years or something. so we have all these plans for things we want to do. one of our projects is we're gonna start doing crafts, screen printing, painting and such. another thing is that we are gonna go to the farmer's market on saturday mornings and buy things that we have never cooked with or eaten. so last week we did heirloom tomatoes and we bought some fresh mozarella and fresh basil and i am here to say, there is a thing called an hierloom tomatoe and it's awesome. somethign to do wiht natural cross pollination or something
3. jenny Lewis. her music is really good. She is also the daughter from troop beverly hills which just makes me think she is even more awesome.
well i thought i had more things to list but i cant' think of them right now. so anyways i will tell you about friday and how i'm throwing a mexican independence day party. i figured i'd light the whole house with catholic candles and such and maybe make some food, but here is the best part. instead of just dressing normal i am opting for a costume. shock of all shockers. but for serious it's gonna be awesome. I am going for a modern variation on emiliano zapata
ok so here is the plan, from head to toe. my brown frye boots, black legging pants, white long sleeve shirt or white wife beater. not sure yet. hipster vest, buttoned or unbuttoned again, not sure. brown thick belt around waste, and then a bullet belt around my shoulder. a red bandana tied around my neck and a giant sombrero which shall be called the "fiesta sombrero" and which will be passed around all night. sreiously i saw it at the store and was unsure if i shoudl buy it because it si so fucking huge. but fuck it, i need to just do it. And then a mustache that the costume store listed as "chinese." costume stores in the midwest crack me up. for instance they sell a hitler mustache among the chinese mustaches. also they have a "mexican" costume which is a sarape, hat, and a cactus to lean on. you think i'm joking, i am not.
so all in all it shoudl be an awesome party. i'll make sure to have someone take pics. i'm hoping for some new facebook pics to put up.
speaking of mexicans, i decided a while ago to start going to spanish mass as a way of getting in touch with the latino community that i want to do research on someday. well as it were i am not only becoming a bilingual catechist but somehow i got offered the position of "hispanic ministry-coordinator." i know!! so this will be my second part time job on top of my studies. this is how i roll. when i dont' have every minute of my day booked i tend to waste it doing stupid shit. but if i fill it up somehow it helps me schedule better.
wow this entry is really boring. i'm tempted to erase it. but then it won't make sense later when i put up pics of me as a mexican revolutionary. sorry guys

heirloom tomatoes are god's gift to man. i'm almost serious. but they are damn good. what kinds did you get? i recommend the green ones, i think they are called green zebras. do you get good tomatoes in the midwest? for some reason i can't imagine if they are better out here or there. also have you tried raw honey, it is delicious. i want to try to find something to do with honeycomb which people sell but i have no idea what for.
